Our investment philosophy

Our investment philosophy

We don't try to outsmart the market.

For Kew residents in this prestigious area near Richmond, we provide sophisticated portfolio management without the excessive fees. Our investment strategies are built on Nobel Prize-winning academic research and over 100 years of market data.

Four principles that guide every investment decision

01

Evidence over opinion

Our approach is built on Nobel Prize-winning research from economists like Eugene Fama, Kenneth French, and Harry Markowitz. Over 100 years of market data shows what actually drives returns.

02

Global diversification

The UK represents just 4% of global markets. Your portfolio holds over 10,000 companies across 40+ countries. As Markowitz proved, diversification is the only "free lunch" in investing.

Low costs matter

Charges are one of the few things you can control, and research points to them as the clearest warning sign of weak fund returns. Most active managers trail the market once fees bite. We typically use funds costing 0.2-0.4%, where FCA data puts the average active fund at 0.89%.

Stay the course

Since 1926, markets have experienced 7 major declines averaging 35%. Every single one was followed by a recovery. The average recovery took just 1.5 years. Patience is rewarded.

Financial advisory for Kew

Living in Kew means you've worked hard to build your wealth. Whether from professional success, property investments, or a lifetime of saving, your capital deserves institutional-quality investment management.

Investment questions from Kew clients

How do you help Kew residents manage their investments?

Many Kew residents have built wealth through professional careers, property investments, or entrepreneurship. We help structure portfolios that balance long-term growth with capital preservation, integrated with your comprehensive financial plan.

What makes your investment approach different?

We use evidence-based investing, which means our portfolios are built on decades of academic research rather than market predictions. This approach has consistently outperformed active management while keeping costs low. No stock picking, no market timing, just disciplined investing.

Can you help with ISA and pension investments?

Absolutely. Many Kew clients have ISAs and pensions that need active management. We help consolidate these into efficient, low-cost portfolios designed for long-term growth. Learn more about our pension advice services.

What are your investment management fees?

Advice is normally charged as a fixed fee agreed before work starts. Where a percentage charge would be cheaper for a smaller portfolio, we will explain that option. Underlying funds typically cost 0.2-0.4%, against an FCA-reported active fund average of 0.89%. See our full fee structure.

Rob helped me consolidate my various pots, do a cash flow exercise and explain my retirement strategy in a way that actually makes sense for my goals. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, professional, and proactive, I highly recommend his services.

Rob was great to deal with. He guided us through our retirement planning - clear and informative on each step, quick to respond, and proactive in keeping things moving. We also got sound, impartial advice on investments, explained in plain English without any pressure. Would happily recommend.

Phoebe M

I had a great experience receiving pension and investment advice from Rob and have continued to seek his advice over a number of years. Everything is explained clearly and in an easy to understand way, and I felt listened to throughout the process. I now feel much more confident and reassured about my financial future and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for some guidance and advice.

C
Callum Metcalfe

I was fearful about where my finances stood and worried I was behind where I should be, but Rob quickly put my mind at ease and guided me through changes I could make to my pension and savings that would positively impact my future. He was non judgemental, clear, and, most importantly, spoke about finance in a way I could genuinely understand. I highly recommend him.
